I have no energy
For you to keep me closed away
Outside your home, fenced away
Where I must spend the day
Well out of sight
When did you think of me?
When did you close the gate?
We were standing face to face
Until you turned away
Standing outside
Look at me and speak to me
Let me know what's in your eyes
Storm clouds are forming in the sky
Still, I must stand outside
Dreading the rain
When did you think of me?
When did you close the gate?
We were standing face to face
Until you turned away
And went back inside
I wandered into the sea of confusion that I found in your eyes
I could only gather that you were kept busy expanding your mind
I fooled myself when you told me the truth but the fact remains that I was out of line
Now, why am I still standing here with the scar on my wrist and the phone to my ear on the off chance that you'll come back outside?

Uncle Joe

I don't have any soup for you
I can't give you a single crumb of black bread
Expel those greedy thoughts from your head
The kulaks starved and crawled weakly through the snow
Here things run best under his harsh crimson glow
Don't you listen to their warnings?
I thought that you'd suffer for the cause
But you're a bloodsucking thief, just as the rest of them are
Dust off his portrait that's hanging on the wall
Get rid of the grain just in case someone saw
The kulaks were shot and left bleeding in the snow
I hear in the west they sometimes call him Uncle Joe

Ideological Subversion

He stared at the ground
As his words sucked back into his head
You are a liar
You only came to execute your plans
Her shouts fell down his throat
How could he even think of returning?
You don't listen
What do you want me to say?
When the Bolos took over
He silently did as he was told
Now she drags him to the center
To loosen up their atheistic hold
She's turning him over
He's stretching himself much too far
Where will you go?
You can't just stay locked in your room

Somnambulist

This heady trio cranks out driving, electronic-tinged power jazz. It's a raucous party that's a bit free and a touch punk.

Freeland
by William Ryan Fritch
The soundtrack to the award-winning film “Freeland” functions beautifully as an album in its own right, with stark, evocative instrumentals.

NY outfit N to The Power cite Erik Satie, The Meters, and Steve Reich as influences, and you can hear it in their free-roaming songs.
